Yahoo Mail works, and it's easy to set up forwarding and IMAP, etc. But beyond that, it's not a good service.

This is what I use the most for emails. It is nice quick has a good interface and just is overall great at least to me. I use it to TXT and IM friends I know since it has a built in IM.
I have used Yahoo Mail pretty much since I got the internet, but it's time to find another service. Their spam filter has been getting less and less effective, and now they are nagging me to turn off my ad blocker and pay for their service to use it without the ads. Sorry, not gonna happen.
Edit: I found I can access Yahoo Mail using Thunderbird Mail without getting the nagging or ads. That seems to be a good workaround, at least for now.

Not great integration anymore. Yahoo services are limited compared to others like Infomaniak or Gmail.
It's not innovative.
Lacks advanced features/settings.
I like Yahoo! because it's my childhood mail
I've been having issues syncing email to my BlackBerry Passport. Initially, I thought that this was another of those BlackBerry features that were shut down to betray BlackBerry users but then it also started happening on my Android phone when synced through the inbuilt Gmail application.
A lot of times I do not receive emails unless I open the app and do manual sync (whereas other email accounts on the same app running on the same phone with same battery optimization settings do not have this problem). Other times, I keep on receiving notifications for emails that I had deleted a while back and should not be existing anymore in the first place.
used to be most popular webmail services until gmail are released
**Performance : ** this is happens because gmail is twice faster than yahoo
Security : yahoo also has compromsed security that forces the user to change their password, and this is not even happen once, it happens more than once!
I had problems sending emails to yahoo addresses
Interesting that this problem has continued for years. I've had problems sending to Yahoo email addresses since 2011. Especially from university accounts (from different universities) and from GMX accounts. When you consider that Yahoo! have been hacked multiple times and failed to inform their users for years even to change the password on their accounts (this affected hundreds of millions of accounts though multiple hacks), and searched all customers emails for key words for the FBI without telling anyone, I think it's obvious Yahoo! isn't the answer to anything.
